At about 3:20 Thursday afternoon, a call went out to Orland firefighters regarding a motorcycle that crashed into a structure.
Well, not quite, but almost.
The Honda motorcycle actually crashed onto the lawn on the Walker Street side of the Sandra Finch Realty business on the northeast corner of Walker and East Streets.
It was Sandra Finch who called 911. She later posted on Facebook:
“A young lady hit the rock wall in front of my office on a motorcycle. She was projected forward over the wall and walkway and landed on the lawn. Somehow nothing was broken. Her leg hurt but she was able to put weight on it. She will be very sore for a few days. Very Lucky young lady!!”
What caused the motorcyclist to lose control is not yet known. Judging from the marks on the sidewalk, she was traveling in a northeasterly direction at the moment her Honda jumped the curb and hit the rock wall.
A helmet was at the scene and presumably the motorcyclist was wearing it at the time of the accident.
An ambulance arrived at the scene but she declined to be transported for medical treatment.
Update: Friday morning, the Orland police logs identified the motorcyclist as Haillie Frenz, 20, of Durham.
